1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: Say, really, congratulations man, thank you so much. I'm curious

2
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 1: how much contact you had with the team throughout the

3
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: process here. Uh, you know, we've talked to players where

4
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: it feels like there's there's been a lot and some

5
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 1: players where not so much. So where did it fall

6
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 1: for you in terms of your interactions with the Patriots? Yeah,

7
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 1: I would say, you know, a good amount. I've had

8
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: a meeting with the assistant, a line coach, I'll talked

9
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:30,159
Speaker 1: to a scout, so, um, you know, I talked to

10
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 1: the team a good amount. Um. So I was definitely

11
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: hoping that this is an organization that picked me just

12
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: with the given history and the great coaching that's available.

13
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: So I'm very excited and thankful. William. Have you have

14
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 1: you watched much Patriots football the last few years and

15
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: are you know, are there any players in particular that

16
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: you like and maybe you try to take some of

17
00:00:55,400 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: their stuff and implement it in your game. Definitely, it's

18
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: kind of hard not to watch the Patriots, um, you know,

19
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: in the offseason, because they're so consistent in getting there.

20
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: And I'm excited sold now be a part of this.

21
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: And it's crazy because one of the guys who who

22
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: I would watch was Isaiah Win just because um, you know,

23
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,479
Speaker 1: he was about the same pig as I am. Still

24
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: playing left tackle too, So just trying to watch him

25
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 1: play left tackle mirror his feet is a technique and

26
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 1: you know, his hands, um and all that stuff. So

27
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 1: it's crazy to actually get drafted by the Patriots now

28
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: just because he was definitely a guy who I used

29
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: to watch in college a lot. Stay can feel free

30
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: to cut me off at any time here. Somebody else

31
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: has a hand rate. But um, I would like to

32
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: ask william one more, just you know, it's funny to

33
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: hear you, to hear you mentioned Isaiah because when he

34
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: was drafted a couple of years ago, a lot of us,

35
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: you know, wondering, Okay, he's gonna play tackles, He's gonna

36
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: play guard. He had just you know, played tackle at

37
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: Georgia and played it really well. I know you've played

38
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: pretty much exclusively tackle at Colorado, Williams. From what I understand,

39
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: what the think you'll be playing at the next level here, Yeah,

40
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: I definitely played right left tackle. I got some practices

41
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,519
Speaker 1: as a guard, and you know, I'm competent that I'll

42
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: be able to make the switch to guard and really

43
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: disrupt this draft process. I've been able. I I've been

44
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: just snapping the football. Um, so I've been able to

45
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: show teams that, you know, they could play all five.

46
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: So really at this point, um, you know, whatever five

47
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: or whichever position the coaches feel comfortable with me playing,

48
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 1: I'm going to be excited to play there. Um. You know,

49
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: I really don't want myself to one position now, just

50
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 1: because I've been you know, really good at snapping so far,

51
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: and I'm confident in my ability to play garden tackle.

52
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: So um. Now it's just you know, where the coaches

53
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: see me. Um, you know, whatever helps the team. So

54
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: looking forward to it. Next question, we're going to Mike Reece,

55
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: m William can you hear me? Yes? Oh great, I

56
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: actually let me start. You prefer will William. Will It

57
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: was fine, will It is fine. Great. So, UM, you

58
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: mentioned the snapping. Can you explain just sort of what

59
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: led you to maybe start snapping this um in this process. Yeah.

60
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 1: So I've talked to my agent and you know, we

61
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 1: both had to talk about the high probability of me

62
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: moving into the interior, and we thought it would be

63
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: really good for me to be able to advertise myself

64
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: as someone who could play off five. UM, you know,

65
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: me having film playing left and right tackle in college,

66
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: and with our knowledge of me moving into the interior,

67
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: we thought it would really be a good idea for

68
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: me to start snapping. So you know, I got on

69
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: the board and started, you know, learning from a center's

70
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: from a center standpoint, would do all my position drills

71
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: snapping the football throughout this draft process. So really, once

72
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: I declared, we thought, you know, it'd be best for

73
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: me to begin stopping, just because the high probability of

74
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: me moving in the interior. And um, and you mentioned

75
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: the Isaiah win Um, how did that sort of start?

76
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: Like just you know, like the idea that you were

77
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 1: watching I know you you say, similar size and he

78
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 1: was still playing tackle, Like how did that sort of happen?

79
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 1: You know that that he was a guy that maybe

80
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 1: you were drawn to just watching. Um are we actually

81
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: had a coach come from Georgia and he talked to

82
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 1: me about, you know how Isaiah was the same size

83
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 1: with me, um played tackle and was really successful in

84
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: playing tackle. So I just started watching him a lot,

85
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: and you know he was right. He's he's not the

86
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: prototypical you know six six type of tackle, but you know,

87
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: great feet and great technique. Um, you know, it does

88
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: wonders for him. So that's you know, what I plan

89
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: on doing as well if if tackle is the position

90
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 1: that I put it. Thank you will Nick, thank you, yeah,

91
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: thank you. Stacy. Hey, well, congratulations. First of all, thank

93
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: preparing for you know, the next level and and sort

94
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: of stressing the versatility that obviously you've been able to

95
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: show in college, being able to you know, play both

96
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: tackle positions. You know, how much do you think that's

97
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: going to help you joining an organization like the Patriots,

98
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: because you know, versatility obviously can be everything with the

99
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: Pats exactly. Um, the Patriots where a team I was

100
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: definitely excited about in the team that I really you

101
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 1: know wanted to go to, just with the great coaching

102
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: five and the great history of the organization. So I'm

103
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 1: so excited and bliss you know to have gotten the

104
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 1: call from the Patriots and really just you know, throughout

105
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: the draft process, I was, um, you know, really wanted

106
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 1: to show that I could play off fives, and UM,

107
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: I'm glad I was able to show that I'm really

108
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: glad the Patriots pick me and realize the significance in that,

109
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 1: and um, you know, at this point, it's just figuring

110
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: out what's position the coaches see best for me and

111
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: see fit best for me so much every position that is,

112
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be very excited and put my head down

113
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: and work so that I can help the team. And

114
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: it looks like our last question would be Philcary, go ahead, Phil,

115
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: Hey William, I'm just curious because reading a little bit

116
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: about you, it sounds like, um, you take a lot

117
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: of pride in being able to block in the running game,

118
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: and it looks like the way the Patriots are built,

119
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: they're gonna be a pretty run focused team. Does that

120
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: excite you? And how would you describe maybe you're you're

121
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: on the field demeanor, especially when it comes to blocking

122
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: in the run game. Definitely, you know, running the ball

123
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 1: is everything, and you can run the ball, you can

124
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 1: do anything. You can pass, play action, pass, run screen.

125
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: So I'm definitely excited, um, for whatever scheme is drawn up,

126
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: and I look forward to, uh, you know, giving in

127
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: my all to be successful and you know, help the

128
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: team win games. But I'm excited, you know if running

129
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: the ball is already didn't mean that's something I'm gonna

130
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: look forward to. I'm sure the old linemen who are

131
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: right now are already excited about that and looking forward

132
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: to that. Thanks Willyne, Congratulations again man, Thank you guys
